Nuisance Calls

£75,000 has been pledged to curb the threat of nuisance and scam callers.

The new funding will enable call-blocking technology to be installed in people’s homes, bringing the total number of vulnerable people the Scottish Government scheme will protect from unwanted calls to more than 1,200.

In September the Scottish Government published its action plan to tackle nuisance and scam callers and announced £50,000 for the first batch of call blockers.
